Lua for Rubysts

Lua is a small, fast language that is discretely being embedded in an increasing number of systems. On this talk, we'll learn what problems does it solve, what are its main assumptions, and how it compares with ruby. We'll also explore some of its real-life scenarios and tools where it's used, and how it can help you as ruby developers.

I love programming; it's a profession where you never stop learning. I believe that software can change society, and I am fascinated by open source. I have a very active github account with lots of incomplete projects, most of them in Lua.

I currently manage the madridrb group and work as a web developer at 3scale.
